If you still have time, would you mind:
* Starting a new e-mail thread (since it's a different bug), and
Done.

To recap here, my Debian Squeeze stubdom-based HVM domU is frequently not completely starting, freezing after the output "Writing SMBIOS tables ...".

* Taking a 30-second trace of the VM booting and hanging with the
following command:
  # xentrace -D -e all -T 30 [filename]&  xl create [configuration]
* Sending me the resulting trace (it will probably be 100-300MiB in size).

I am emailing you offlist with a link to the trace now. I had to use "xm" instead of "xl" because "xl" still doesn't seem to work right with stubdoms (a separate bug); it probably needs to wait a little longer for the main domU to be created before creating the stubdom.

# xl create testvds4-xl.cfg
